An important message from IBEW 1245 Business Manager Tom Dalzell
“It is our position that all issues that affect a limited number of members should be addressed in ad hoc negotiations, and that includes electric and gas service crews, two-man rubber-gloving and sick leave in the call centers. This has been our stance for quite some time, and we will continue to maintain that position as general negotiations move forward. It is our intention NOT to negotiate these issues as proposed by the Company, and instead reserve them for the relevant ad hoc committees.”
Today, IBEW Local 1245 and PG&E launched general negotiations with the initial exchange of bargaining proposals. Although Local 1245 has not generally posted the original proposals at the onset of general negotiations in the past (and in fact, has only done so one time in the last five rounds of bargaining), the union has decided to post the full proposals this year, in order to keep members informed and ensure that this round of bargaining is as transparent as possible.

The list of subjects for ad hoc negotiations is still being finalized, and will be posted as soon as it is complete.
